There is reason for thinking that
the moon Is not absolutely airless.
and, while IL has no visible bodies OF
water, its soil may, after all, not be-
entirely arid and desiccated. There
are observations which hint at visible

possibly be caused by vegetation. and
there are other observations which
suggest the display Of electric lumi.

ing the moon. To declare that no
possible form of life can exist under
the conditions prevailing upon the
lunar surface would be saying too
much, for human intelligence cannot
set bounds TO creative power. Yet,
within the limits Of life such as we
know them, it is probably safe to
assert that the moon Is dead and
deserted world. In other words. ii
race of beings resembling ourselves.
or resembling any of our con-
temporaries in terrestrial life ever
existed upon the moon, they must
long since have perished. That such
beings may have existed is possible.
particularly IL IL Is true, as generally
believed, that the moon once had 4
comparatively dense atmosphere and
water upon It's surface, which have
now, in the process of cooling OF the
lunar globe, been withdrawn into its
interior. IL certainly does not detract
from the interest with which we study
the rugged and beautiful scenery OF
the moon TO reflect that il we could
visit those ancient sea bottoms, or ex-
plore those glittering mountains. we
might, perchance, find some remains
or mementoes OF a race that flourished
and perhaps was all gathered again to
its fathers, before man appeared upon
the earth. Popular Science Monthly.

AS general rule, when the majority
of society think proper to sell their
church property, they have the right to
authorize sale by the trustees; but the
trust that was imposed on the church
property follows the purchase money
arising from such sale, and the society
can no more authorize or sanction
diversion of that fund than it could the
property. 1t holds the fund in trust,
and must hold it and apply it for the
same purposes for which it held the
church property, and for no other.
If there should be total dissolution
OF the society so that the fund could no
longer be applied in carrying out the
trust, still, the members, or former
members of the society, or the surviv-
ing trustees, would have no right to
apply it to other purpose or divide it
among themselves. Whatever property
there might be in such cases, would, as
in the case of the failure of any other
trust, revert to the donors. 1t would
not be the surviving members of a
society to whom the property would
revert, but to the persons or their heirs
who subscribed and donated the money
that purchased or erected the property.
The only right the present members
of a society have is to control and
manage the property, within the limits
above stated, and, as benefciaries, to
prevent any diversion of it to other
purposes. The idea, therefore, that
the members of a society have the right
to sell church property for their own
benefit, or to turn itinto any mercantile
social or philanthropic channel, is one
that has no foundation in law or equity
Church property is trust, and must
be so regarded. The courts will inter.
fere, when invoked, to prevent any
alienation of such original trusts.

2. Whatever censure may be visited
upon the minister for the frequent
change of pastoral relation, that partic-
ular class of ministers whose expert
ence is outlined in our friends COM
munication, should be judged very leni-
emily. These men are occupying what
may be called our Home Missionary
fields. They are receiving small salar-
les, and are not surrounded with the
attractions of city parishes. They are
located oftentimes over churches of
broken fortunes, amid embarrassing
surroundings, and their lives are fire.
quently constant struggle with I'M
propitious circumstance. To censure
such men when they try to improve
their condition and secure churches
that are well established, is not only
unjust, but absolutely cruel. 1t is
easy to say they should be satisfied
with their positions, and aim to
make these mission fields the equal of
larger parishes. This cannot always be
done:-very rarely, in fact, can these
churches be lifted into any degree of
prosperity that will afford comfort
able income for the pastor. The larger
denominations of the country-Meth-
odist, Baptist, Presbyterian-secure a
more permanent ministry in such
places through the fundamentally OF
their invested funds. The Home Mis-
sionary Board or the Church Extension
society aid in the support of the stated
ministry. Our pastors are forced to de-
pend wholly on their members for sup
port. When, for any reason, this sup
port fails, the minister is obliged tt
move and seek another field of labor
Under such circumstances as these the
case is one of sufficient hardship with
out the minister falling under censurt
for necessary removal-a change
which, in nine cases out of every ten
he would not make, we're there any
possibility of avoiding it.
